Now the next step is to tie this requirement back to HLA and check to see how many counselors are referred to as:
Professional counselor
Associate professional counselor
Social worker
Marriage and family therapist
Associate marriage and family therapist
If they hold any of these titles then they are required to be licensed in the State of Georgia under Title 43 Chapter 10A.
The next step is to check the titles of the employees of HLA and if they are using any of the above titles we will check for the license to use the stated Title.
I will take this one since you guys provided the statutes.

so what you are saying is that there is a loophole which hla exploited. from a strict constructionist viewpoint what you are saying is correct, but unfortunately with a little bit of "reading between the lines with common sense", it becomes very illegal. essentially, if someone is not qualified to be licensed but wants to work in that field, and do the exact same thing, all they have to do is change their job title to something thats not on the list. although it's legal it's not ethical because it's very misleading. even if the parent knows the law by heart, he/she is most likely going to assume that "professional counselor" and "masters level peer-group counselor" are synonyms, "one used officially and one used for marketing".
this is very, very simmilar to what hidden lake did with ORS: by calling it a "theraputic boarding school", and claiming it was a "boarding school with a theraputic aspect" they managed to dodge the regulations they would be subjected to if they were to be a "residential treatment facility with academics".

I agree that Lance H is a total jerk and should not be allowed to work with kids. He is a real hot head who cannot control himself in a professional manner at all. He is a JOKE and I would never want my child around him. You tried to mouth off to me Lance but it did not work. You are a pathetic excuse for a "counselor" . CREEPY!!

This makes no sense at all. No parent would ever assume anything like that. Professional Counselor, Engineer etc. are licensed by the state and can work independently and outsource their talents.
If they were professional counselors they would advertise this.
You are trying to make what they do seem illegal and it is not. We have provided the evidence that HLA meets the letter of the law.
This is why parents dont believe what many of you conclude and say on this forum. If you are truthful and honest with your information parents will eventually start believing more people at face value. This is why we ask for details because much of what you say is unrelieable.

Yes, fornits is considered such an unreliable source of information that only 75% of families pulled their kids out of HLA in the past 18 months and only some 21 families filed suit against HLA for various and sundry misconduct.
Shame on you, fornits! :roll:
TheWho is a complete and utter fool that has no idea what he's blathering about.
